Thanks Blam. Probably no ping, but it does give me a cheap excuse to pontificate about Napoleon's great error. Herodotus was known, and H's account of the Persian attempt to bring Scythia (basically, the lands north and east of the Danube) under dominion is a precursor to Napoleon's, Kaiser Wilhelm's, and Hitler's invasion of Russia. Obviously the people involved were different, but the basic tactic of the Scythians was to bug out, and ride off in a different direction. The Persians would take a few more days to march after them and nearly catch up, then the Scythians would up and ride off again. Finally, the winter could be felt closing in, and supply line (and retreat route) problems arose, and the Persians withdrew.
